Ivan Jovanovic makes his debut on the bench for Greece, the great Suarez bids farewell to the national team.
The Nations League continues with Greece hosting Finland in Ivan Jovanovic's debut match. British derby in the same group with England the clear favourites, the huge Suarez bids farewell to the national team .
Ivan Jovanovic's debut on the bench for Greece is one of the highlights of Saturday night's Nations League.
Greece will host Finland in the opening game of Group 2 in the B Division of the competition. The official favourite is back at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium and aims to get off to an ideal start against a formidable team.
The Serbian coach presented himself as optimistic at the press conference ahead of today's match, but always with moderation and seriousness, elements that characterize him as a man and a professional.
In the odds, Greece are the favourites and it remains to be seen whether they will confirm this on the pitch.
A British derby with many special features will take place in Dublin. Ireland will host England, who have been relegated to the second division and are in the group of Greece.
As you can see, the English are superior and to a large extent over their opponents, but the... curse that accompanies them in all major competitions has also appeared at the EURO. They may have reached the source (final) again, but this time they didn't make it either, as they were up against the demonic Spain.
The English underestimate, or rather don't count on small competitions, but this is usually the case with teams and not from the national team. Besides, they can't afford it, as a return to the top flight is non-negotiable.
The last meeting between the two teams was in 2020 in a friendly, where England won 3-0.
The iconic Luis Suarez has decided to hang up his boots at international level by announcing his retirement from the Uruguayan national team in the early hours of Tuesday morning (3/9).
Visibly emotional, with tears in his eyes, the 37-year-old striker said that his last game with Celeste would be against Paraguay in World Cup qualifying at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
Suarez retires as Uruguay's all-time leading scorer with 69 goals in 142 appearances in an international career spanning 14 years.
This cycle of Suarez in Uruguay should end with a win and that is what his teammates promised as a debt to their huge compatriot.
